| Praise for FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO
"Daniel G. Karslake's remarkable documentary boldly takes on a loaded topic — Christianity and homosexuality — and examines it both intellectually and emotionally; the result may well leave you blinking away a few tears.”
- Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times
“Enlightening, heart-wrenching and uplifting. Grade: A- !”-Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune
“Heartfelt and provocative…moving and rewardingly intimate. For Christian audiences, the film will prove most valuable in encouraging them to consider their beliefs in a spirit of serious examination rather than mindless acceptance, and to recognize how matters of faith can be easily co-opted by politics.” - Justin Chang, Variety
“Impressive! A thoughtful examination of the many ways in which the Good Book
is used to sanction discrimination against homosexuals.”- Dan Dunn, Metro
“Confronts, with whimsy and hellfire, the clash between religion and homosexuality.” - Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine
“My favorite doc at Sundance this year. Karslake has made a powerful film, one that I hope will be widely seen, because it addresses the fulcrum of the religious right's objection to homosexuality without attacking those who hold those beliefs. Rather than smacking down with a righteous hammer, Karslake instead simply takes those who would believe that there is no common ground between faith and homosexuality and gently, relentlessly chisels away at every argument that bolsters those beliefs.” - Kim Voynar, Cinematical
"The best gay documentary since The Celluloid Closet! Daniel Karslake's brilliant documentary digs deeper into the divide between Biblical literalists and real-life homosexuals than any film before it. The results are as infuriating and heartbreaking as you'd fear, and more inspiring than you'd ever imagine.” - The Stranger (Seattle)
“A fascinating, must-see film. Daniel Karslake has created a moving yet personal inspirational portrait of this great divide around fundamentalist religious teachings
that has impacted so many people so dramatically.” - Seattle Gay News
“Powerful…a brave and noble effort to heal a gaping wound in our society.”
- Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com
